How balloon sinuplasty works
In balloon sinuplasty, the flexible balloon is inserted into one nostril and up to the opening of the affected sinus.
The balloon will be inflated at the narrowed spot and kept there for 30 seconds to a minute.
Once the passageway has been widened, the balloon is deflated and removed.
